[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with above. Why a top ENCL team enters a tournament like Rush is beyond me (looking at you, McLean). [/quote]

Bethesda had the chance to go to the obgc same thing with VA union but McLean was just coach preference I guess [/quote]

I am sure Bethesda and McLean/VA Union will send their top teams to various ECNL showcases later in the season, but for a local preseason tournament Rush for the Cup is not a bad tournament.  Yes, non-ECNL teams get overmatched, but ECNL teams work on formations and try players in new positions without much pressure.  My kids played in both OBGC tournament and Rush for the Cup.  Both are good local tournaments.  I prefer Rush for the Cup because all games are at a single location (MD soccerplex), while OBGC tournament fields vary in quality and are scattered around Maryland.  At least on the girls side, OBGC tournament is not bursting with ECNL teams (MD United entered their ECNL teams in some of the age groups, but they play against non-ECNL competition).  So Bethesda and VA Union coaches probably just went with a more convenient location for a preseason tournament.  [/quote]

you do have a point so i stand corrected but maybe if the tournament was more competitive it would be a really good one cause of the field space like the vda friendlies but only 50 minutes games doesn't sound fun but the fields are really close together[/quote]
